“The hearing ear and the seeing eye: the Lord has made them both.” (Proverbs 20:12)
The ear and the eye are not merely organs of the human body. They are gifts from God.
God gave them to us so that, above all, we may see what He shows us and hear what He tells us.
Unfortunately, some people do not see, even though they have eyes, and do not hear, even though they have ears.
“Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?” (Mark 8:18)
But are we truly attentive to what He wants us to hear and understand?
An ear that hears must learn to listen to the truth, and an eye that sees must learn to discern the truth.
This means that we have a responsibility to choose what we expose our eyes and ears to.
Starting today, we can decide to stop looking at or listening to everything that hurts us, destroys us, corrupts our hearts and souls, or seeks to lead us away from God.
Let us no longer lend our ears to lies, slander, and harmful influences. Let us not allow our eyes to dwell on evil. Instead, let us learn to listen to the truth and look at things with discernment.
Shalom!
